CARE Marketplace of Ideas
Theme
The 2013 CARE Marketplace of Ideas will showcase how
audience research and evaluation can help museums best harness the power of
story, the theme of this year's AAM meeting. In addition to sharing some of
the most current work in our specialty, we particularly welcome proposals that
describe how audience research and evaluation helps museums answer the
following questions:
1. What are the elements that make a great and unforgettable
story?
2. What are the techniques for good storytelling?
3. How do we measure the impact of story on our different
audiences?
4. How effectively do we use storytelling to share
authority?
5. How do we best use storytelling to achieve our immediate
goals and fulfill our long-term missions as core educational and community
institutions?
In addition to dynamic poster presentations, the CARE
Marketplace will team up with the Excellence in Exhibitions competition to
present multiple examples of innovative, critical and cross-disciplinary
thinking that enable us, as museum professionals, to create visitor experiences
that build on the power of the story.
Purpose
The purpose of the CARE Marketplace is:
1. To showcase audience research and evaluation work
currently being undertaken in and for museums
2. To encourage museums of all sizes and types to engage in
audience research and evaluation
3. To present information on the related areas of museum
audiences and museum programs and exhibitions, to encourage museum
professionals to seek generalizations, trends, and principles that can guide
efforts to improve practice
Presenters
Museum staff, consultants, museum studies faculty, and
students who have done work on visitor studies, audience research and
evaluation, and museum education are encouraged to share their findings.
For those presenters who plan to attend ONLY on Monday (the
day of the Marketplace), complimentary day registration will be available;
please indicate on the submission form if you desire complimentary registration
for Monday.
Presentation
Each presenter will prepare a poster or other form of
display, handouts, and other materials as relevant. Displays will be on view
concurrently during the two hour session. Session visitors will be invited to
walk from display to display, read the posters and other materials, and
interact with the presenters. Presenters must be knowledgeable about the study
and available throughout the session for discussion. If accepted, presenters
will be sent guidelines for content, format, and delivery of materials.
